Study abroad opportunities

STUDENT VIEW

Study abroad helped me develop personally and academically. I learnt to step out of my comfort zone and embrace challenges: learning to adapt to another university academic system and also culturally adapting with others and making international friends. This is one of the best experiences you can get from university in order to make you grow and prepare for the real world as a graduate. Shivani, BSc (Hons) Psychology Graduate who studied on exchange at the University of New Brunswick in Canada.
